THE SUN, FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1914.
the committee's statement conveyed ny
Impression contrary -to the estimate he
had. put on Sip. Jones's position such nn
Impression hnd been given Inadvertently.
It wus his undcrsViudlnK that there whs
no essential contradiction between his ex
pressid views nnd those expressed tiy tr.
Jones nt his appearance before the Senate
committee.
Tho fact that the committee's, statement
made It appear that Mr. .tones was rather
In sympathy with tho policies and pur
poses of the Harvester company as It Is at
present constituted was called to Mr. Wil
son's attention.
In carefully chosen words the 1'rcsUlcnt
responded that If such an linpiessloti had
i e stilted It was due to an Imperfect state
ment of the facts by the committee. It
developed that the Pirsldent had first
hsnd Information rcKatdliiK tho testimony
of Mr. Jones. Utilizing this Information
he made It known that what Mr. Jones
had said was that In his opinion the ac
tions of the company since he hud heen
connected with It were Ictral. Mr. Jones's
opinion In this connection coincides with
that which the President himself holds.
It was lecallcd to tho President that the
tmdcrstauilliiK had none foith that Mr.
Jones had opposed the mou-mcnl within
the Harvester dliectonite for a voluntary
leorKonlzatlon. The Piesldent mpllcd
that ho dnl not Know uuthlnK alioiit that,
but added that he would rather trust .Mr.
Jones's Judgment than his own. He added
that hi had heen associated with Mr.
Jones for twenty ir liefote his own par
ticipation In politics and that In this time
tho Judgment of Mt. Jones had ptexented
him from making many mistakes.
IMiM In President.
The turning down of the Jones nomina
tion t) the Senate committee Is the si-er-iwt
blow the President has yet received
from a Congress committee. The Presi
dent made a personal appeal for a favor
able report on Mr. Junes, pointing out to
tho committee In a letter that "he is the
one man of the whole number wb was In
a personal sense my choice."
The committee's response to his appeal
waa the rejection by a 7 to 4 ote. The.
lieniocrMs on the committee who stood
with the President were Pomerenc of (Jhlo.
Shafroth of Colorado, Mollis of New
Hampshire and l.ee of Maryland. Sena

The lln.il vote of the committee In re
gard t the Warburg nomination took the
form of a motion to adjourn without ac
tion subject to the call of the chairman.
It Is understood that this action amounted
to an Indefinite postponement of con. dera
tion of the Warburg nomination.
Prior to taking this action a motion was
made h Senator Heed to postHUie action
on Mr. Worburg's name until such time
as he should appear before the committee
In response to Its lnvlt.it. on. This motion
was .met by a motion to table offered by
one of the Administration Senators Only
three Senators Shafrotlt, Iceand Mollis
otsd to table. Senator Poinereno Joined
with Senators Hitchcock and Itei-d and
rive Republicans against tabling. This
vote indicated clearly that all but -three
of the romni ttce members present were
opposed to taking any favorable action
on the Warburg nomination until ho shows
a disposition to give the committee the
Information It has required.
I'lmnlmcitin Arllun SiiuKht.
The committee agreed that unanimous
action was desirable, mid Senator Heed's
motion was modified to provide simply
that the committee should adjourn sub

' Notwithstanding the keen criticism that

NO LOANS TO M'ADOO.
TVarbiiric Told of Firm's Connection
With Tube Company.
WASHiNotoN, July 9. The correspond
ence which passed between Senator Pom
erenc and Paul M. Warburg concerning
the regional riserve banking umtroveisy!
dUcIoscs some of the grounds for Mr.
Warburg's unwIUIngneBS to appear leforc
the Senate Hanking Committee Here
tofore It has appeared only In fragmen
tary form.
Senator Pomerenc, writing under the
date of June H, submitted various ques
tions which he asserts wcrei propounded
to him by a member of the committee
whose name in not disclosed.
One of the questions asked whether
Kuhn. Iocb A Co. made loans to W.
(J. McAdoo, now Secretary of the Treas
ury, nnd his huslness associates. Mr.
Warburg replied that no such loans
were made,
Information was asked also regard
ing Mr Wurburg's views of the "reor
ganization" of the Frisco, thn flock Island
and the New Haven companies.
Of the three properties but one Is
bankrupt and has not been icorgaiilzed.
Neither the nock Island nor the New
Hsven road Is Insolvent and neither hns
been leorganlzed N'elther Mr. Wnrhurg
nor his Arm was concerned In their
financing.
Among tho questions sre some nf nn
exceedingly personal character. For In
stance, the unnamed Senator Insists In a
postscript on knowing Mr, Warburg's po
lltlcal nlllllntlons, the amount of his cam
paign contributions nnd those of his firm.
This explains Mr, Wnrhurg's reference to
Ills Intention to vote for President Wil
son, although he had Kepuhllcnn leanings,
Mr. Warburg's leply, In Us Incomplete
form, gave rise to adverse comment, It
now develops that It wus not a voluntary
statement but In reply to a request for
Information. Tt Is felt that many of the
questions submitted to Mr, Warburg were
not proposed hy Interests friendly to the
Administration. particularly questions
bearing upon Secretary McAdoo's business
affairs.
Inasmuch as It would he almost Im
possible for Mr, Warburg to submit to a
general quizzing conducted along tho lines
nf Senator Pomerene's letter without mak
ing trouble either for himself or hankers
associated with the financing of under
takings of which Mr, Warburg could havn
no personal knowledge. H Is suggested
that some of the questions may have been
framed hy Interests unfriendly to Kuhn,
Lo.-b & (Jo,
Senator Pomerene's letter to Mr. War-bu-g,
dated .lime 24. says'
"A member of the sub.coniiiilltee f
the Committee on Hanking ami Cunency
of the Senate, having under consideration
your nomination, writes me under d,ite of
June 22 hs follows
"'I would llko to know when Mr. War-
burg's connection began with Kuehn, Loeb
& Company, nnd what his views are
upon the methods of financing railroads
and Industrial enterprises; and what of
these enterprises have been financed by
Kuehn. Loeb & Company since his con
nection with the firm. What are his
views as to the legltmacy of the financ
ing of the Alton system by llarrlman,
(loutd. Schlff and Ktlllman; his views of
the reorganization of the Frisco, the Itock
Island, the New Haven, and the consoli
dation and financing of the steel trust
and similar concerns?'
"And under date of June 2.1 as follows :
"'In addition to the Information I asked
on yesterday In regard to Mr, Warburg.
I would like to know how much money
the firm of Kuehn. lel ft Company
has loaned the New York and New Jelsey
Tube Company I think that Is the name
of the lust'tutlon, how much, If any, It
has loaned 'Mr. McAdoo and his business

h? or the firm of Kuehn, l.oeb ft Com
pany contributed to the last Democratic

his political affiliations and how many
times and where he has voted for Con
gressman nnd President.'
"The committee will appreciate any In
formation that you may seo fit to glvp It
In answer to the above quoted letters."
Mr. Warburg replied as follows .
"Referring to your letter of the Stth
Instant, submitting to me sopie questions
put by a member of the sub.commlttee
of thtf Committee on Hanking and Cur
rency of the Senate. 1 beg to advlsn you
as follow:
"In order to deal Intelligently with
the questions It Is necessary that they
should hn subdivided.

when .Mr. Warburg's connection 'began
with Kuhu. I.oeb & Company.'
"Answer. In October. 1 901, when 1 I
became n member of the firm, shortly i
after coming to this country from Ham
burg, llcrmany, where 1 had theretofyro !
resided
"Second question. ' and what his
views ate upon the methods' of financing
railroads and Industrial enterprises; and'
what of thse enterprises have been

Could. Sch Iff and Stlllmati: his views of j
the reorganization of the l-'rlsco, the Hock
Island, the New Haven, and the consult- I
datlon and financing of the steel trust
and similar concerns?" j
"Answer. In order to give my views
upon the methods of financing railroads 1
and Industrial enterprises It would be j
necessary for me to write a lengthy es
say. While, broadly speaking, one might
say that In financing railroads and In
dustrial enterprises care must be taken
that fixed charges do not exceed n safe
proportion of the net earnings , that the
obligations be well secured by actual ,
value and that due provision be made for I
the future growth of the properties, any .
such statement. In order to be of value, j
would have to be reviewed from a dlf- (
ferent angle In each Individual class of ,
case", Railroads In thickly settled sec .
tlons of the country are different propo-
sltlons from railroads In undeveloped ter
ritories; Industries In staple or well known '
products require a different point of view
from Industries manufacturing untried ,
products or nrtlcles of luxury. A coal ,
mine and an automobile factory cannot l
be covered by one rule. Moreover, dif
ferent methods apply In a nation's life
during a period of rapid development
than at a later stage of settled condl
tlons. "The Federal reserve bank tem
cannot deal In nor grant advances upon
IiomiIh and slocks of corporations ; ootid
nnd Issuing houses cannot become mem- i
hers of the system, and I fall to sec the
pertlnencv of the question ntiit no not so
mv way 'to answer It In more than this
general fashion. 1 might add. however,
that my general views lire fairly well
known to leading business men and
economists and that t have publicly
stated them with regard to some phases j
of this question as early as 1908 In nn ,
,eiiei entitled American and Kuropean

from these considerations I would for
reasons which 1 am sure will occur to
vou be unwilling to enter upon such a
discussion of the business transactions
of others as would be Involved In an
swering your associate's questions. Of ,
course, with the nld of hindsight, which
Is so much easier than foresight, It woutrt
not be difficult for me to give ns my ,

the Important precedent that we are cre

"Third question. 'I would like to know
how much monty the firm of Kuhn, Loeb
& Company hns loaned the New York
nnd New Jersey Tube Company I think

how much, If any, it lias loaned,
Mr. McAdoo and his business as

free to answer a questlor ns to loans I
which my firm has marie to Its customers, i
It happens, however, that I am iree 10
nnswer this question, Inasmuch ns my
firm hns never inado nny loans to the
corporations to which your nssnclttte re
fers, nor to Mr. McAdoo, nor, ns far as
I know, to nny of his business asso
ciates. Our only connection with the

as syndicate managers with the snme as
sociates under nn ngreevjient of tho same

of this village, says that Bardes was
with her nt n time so close to that of
the murder that It seems Impossible,
It her story Is true, that he could have
seen and heard nil that he testified to.
Crnmr litilttrll Wrnk.
It Is barely possible that District At
torney Smith has evidence In reserve
which he Intends to produce nt a stra
tegic moment, but as the case stands
nobody In Kreeport believes that Mrs.
Carman could lw. Indicted, much less
convicted. Take, for example, the com
ment of ex-Judge Wallace of Freeport:
"Nn testimony connecting Mrs. Car
man with the killing of Mrs. Bailey has
been oltcred that approaches the dig
nity of evidence. Any .ludgL would be
compelled to direct a Jury to nciiult
the defendant."
District Attorney Smith, disappointed
nnd chagrined by the crumbling of the
fnundatlons of hi case, tried to-day to so bearing nnd calm denials, tho ma
secure a postponement of the hearing ! ot Persons here felt that she was
,,,.,, ... . . guilty. Since her arrest nnd the dlscov
set for July 13 by Coroner Norton. Mr. .,,. ,,,, ,... lnllllia .,m. ...Uo
Smith wanted a week's delay, but ,
George M. Levy, counsel for Mrs. Car
man, wouldn't consemt. Mr. Levy's po
sition wns that the county authorities
after erght days Investigation put Mrs.
Carman In Jail changed with murder,
nnd thnt It would be unjust to dilly
dally any further.
n ,lnr Would l.nuuh.
"If they've got nny renl evidence,"
said Levy to a reporter for The Sr.v,
"'let them bring It Into court. They lire
afraid. They know I can tear to pieces
every story they have set up. They've
got nothing In the world hut a suspi
cion of motive- the circumstance of a
Jealous woman who used a dictograph
to overhear he-r husband's conversations
with women patients. They can't con
nect cither Dr. Carman or Mrs. Carman
with Mrs. Halley nnd they can't pro
duce, the weapon. The Oram! Jury
would Inugh at such a ense."
The truth Is, the prosecution Is con
centrating upon a rather frightened col
ored woman, who hns suddenly become
of enormous Importance to District At
torney Smith nnd William .1. Hums.
etr CiliiniHU Cine.
District Attorney Smith said his oincp
wns working also on new clues, one of
which -was to trace a little slip of yellow-
paper which Mrs. Carman, according tn
Gaston llolusomuilt. mnnager of the
rtnnr.il Acnnsili. Cnmtvinv. showed him
, ,., i.iJ,ni .
when she llrst came to his ortlce.
This slip of paper, according to Hols-
snninilt. contained two Initials mxl thn
surnames of some person and nn uddress
In West Thirty-second street, Man
hnttnn, ttnlssonault could nut recall
the nnme or the number eif the address
except thnt it wns "a lnrgo numlicr,"
When this u-iis mentioned to the
District Attorney and I, wns explained,
thnt "a largo number" might Indicate
the address to bo near the river on
Thirty-second street, nnd that that wns
the district of the Hudson Duster nnd
(Jophcr gangs, Mr. Smith said:
"Yes, and I tell yon that this Is
one nf the most Important duos we nro
working; on."
Cella Coleman, Mrs, Cnrman's cook,
hns suddenly become the Important fig
ure In tho case. Prosecutor's men and
nurnn's men havo ding-donged nt her
until tho simple minded creature doesn't
know whether nhe, Is whlto or black.
They have elemnnded of her that she
correct her testimony Riven at tlm In
eiuest, .tin Id's Testimony I nipurlnnl.
Ill the long run It inny be that Mrs,
Carman's liberty swings upon Cella
Coleman's testimony, At the Inquest,
suddenly thrust Into a situation that
miuln her, as she said, "nil trembly and
wishy-washy," nnd menaced by tho eyei

DAY'S DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE BAILEY CASE
Doubt was cast upon the testimony of Elwood T. Barries that he saw a
woman on the Carman fawn immediately after the shooting by the statement
of Miss Flora Raynor that Bardes called on her at 8:30 o'clock, fifteen minutes
after the murder.
This, coupled with the weakening of Oolder, the farm hand, caused a
change In sentiment in Freeport toward Mrs. Carman.
Assiatant District Attorney Weeks admitted that tho State's case was
weak and that Mrs. Carman might be freed on Monday.
District Attorney Smith asks postponement of Coroner's hearing on July
:j, but Mrs. Carman's attorney objects.
District Attorney Smith hopei (o get new version of events of murder
night from Cella Coleman, the negro cook.
hiivo had tu do to avoid oil eyca save
those of her cook's.
Smith did Mh bent to make Cella
change her story nnd even dangled be
foro her tho terrors of perjury punish
ment, but she was steadfast.
With (lotder. the farmhand, and with
Uardes, tho Insurance uKent, kIvIiir testi

fired the prosecutor thought he could
eliminate tho negro cook Hut OoldAr,
and Hardes have been challenged force
fully, nnd unless Cella can say thai she
saw Mrs. Carman slipping through the
kitchen the prosecution's setback will be
obvious.

the Halley murder, but the (Irand Jury,
at the suggestion of District Attorney
Smith, took no action and Cell.t had her
trip for nothing. Hefore she left Free
port she was questioned anil reiiuestioued
by the prosecutor and by detectives. Will
iam J. Hums hlmclf came down from
New York this evening nnd took up tho
questioning where his men had left off.
Hut there Is no Indication yet that the
colored woman Is weakening.
Mr. Hums Is not pleaded witli the action
of the authorities in precipitately arrest
ing .Mrs. Carman and thereby making It
necessary to hurry the detective work.
This fact slipped out to-day, although
Mr. Hums would not criticise the .course
taken by the District Attorney nnd the
Coroner. He holds that Mrs. Carman Is
the person against whom the Investiga
tion must be directed, but he Mould have
preferred to let her have liberty a few
days more.
Mr. Hum nlso does not think that

Levy has been tremendously energetic lu vous. that Is all. The authorities know
Mrs. Carman's behalf and Is hustling to by this time thnt they haven't a. thing
get affidavits that will counterbalance the . to hold her on. Hums men have ben
prosecution's evidence.
Mr. Levy has an Important asset In the
public opinion of the community. This
has undergone a curious change. A few
davs ago. desnltn Mrs. Carman's Imnres-
queer slants hnve Injected themselves Into
the case, feeling has changed materials.
If Mrs. Carman's release could be secured
by a ball bond It would not be difficult to,
get security for 150,000 or more.
The way Freeport looks nt the most ex: i
traordlnary murder ense of yenrs Is
simple. .Mil) be Mrs. Carman shot Mrs. '
Halley, but where's the evidence? '
Levy, persistently digging, happened to
hear that Flora Raynor. a girl who lives
lu Helen street, Freeport, nbout one mile
from the Cnrmnn house, was with Hardes
on the night of tho murder. He ques-
Honed Miss Raynor nnd Immediately In
duced her to make nn affidavit. Her story
Is Interesting.
She says that she had an nppolntmcnt
with Hardes on the night of June 3n, nnd
that he came to her house at 8:30 P. M-,
or a little before.
Now, Hardes says that he was In front
of the Carman house, a mile away, at the
time of the murder, which has been fixed
approximately at K.1.1 P. M., and that be
waited long enough after he heard a shot
tired to observe through the growing dusk
a woman who wore a white waist anil a
dark skirt, who seemed to weigh about
MO pounds nnd who appeared to have
light hair (a fair description of Mrs. Car

of Miss Ruynor's affidavit Is that Hardes I
said never a word to her nbout his str.ingo
experience. He was with her two houis
nnd a half, she says. On the Monday fol
lowing the murder Hardes was with Mls
Raynor agnln. He asked, he says:
"Flora, doesn't Dr, Carman live In
drove street?"
Sho replied : i
"Why, no Ills home Is In the Merrick I
road.'
District Attorney Smith said to-night
, ,, ,va, not , concerned abut
.Miss Raynor's nfndsvlt. He Is confident
that Hardes Is a credible witness nnd
he doesn't see how Miss Rnynor's af
fidavit refutes Hardes's tistlmony In any.
essential point.

trouble and I'm doing what t can to get
her out."
Tho District Attorney hints that ho
may proceed against Golder.
"I'm going to find out how he came
to change his story," said Mr. Smith.
The doubts of the prosecution as re
gards the strength of Its case were ex
pressed by Assistant District Attorney
Charles R. Weeks who went so far ns
to sny that .Mrs, Carman might Ije freed
next Monday if more evidence cannot be
produced,
Nobody In Freeport would be surprised
If that Is the outcome. It Is known that
MRS. CARMAN
STATE'S WITNESS
Coroner Norton, who will sit ns a mag
istrate on Monday, Is not ut all satisfied
with the evidence against Mrs. Cumuli,
and that he ordered her arrest only after
the strongest appeals from District At
torney Smith u nd .Sheriff l'ottll. Friends
of the Coroner say that he Is likely to
set her free If Mr. Smith doesn't
strengthen the ense.
Tnn Women Still Mlsalnu.
The prosecution has been disappointed
In Its search for two Monirn who fled
from the anteroom of Dr. Carman's of
fice after tho murder. There was a rumor
to-day that County Detective Seaman had
located the two and that they had madj
a statement. The District Attorney and
Mr. Seaman said the rumor wns untru
When the shot was fired these women
ran from the waiting room Into the fron
hull and Mrs. Ida Powell. Mrs. Carman'.i
sister, says they blocked her way when
she ran down stairs. Presumably they
escaped through the front door. It It
likely that they could have seen the flight
of the person who shot Mrs. Halley.
On tho other hand, If Mrs. Carman's
story that, after the shot she uppriired
at the head of the stairway In her night
dress; they would have been likely to se
her. Lawyer Levy Is as anxious ns Dis
trict Attorney Smith to Interview these
women, One of the singular features of
the case Is their complete disappearance
Dr Carman maintains that he does not
know who they were.
There was a fresh crop of sensational
f rllmors arising out of the case to-night
It was said that tho Nnrsau county
authorities have been Informed that a
man and a woman were concerned In the
munlir. and that the man was being
sought In Now York. This was dented by
the District Attorney.

Meyer D, Newman Is 19 years old, nnd
lives at 912 Freeman street, The Hronx,
His brother, Isidore, said last night that
Meyer Is a publicity seeker nnd will do
almost anything to get Into the news
papers. On one occasion he announced
that he was going to walk to the Pacific
coast. lie got ns far as Columbus Circle,
where ho saw his picture In a newspaper
nnd wns satisfied. During the trial of
tho gunmen for the murder of Rosenthal
he rend everything about them he coutd
lay his hands on. Isidore never heard
Meyer speak of the Carman case, and
when It was pointed out to him that
across the street from where they lived
was a sign, "Carman Studio," he said
he guessed that was where Meyer got
the Idea of getting Into the case.
William J. nurns said yesterday before
leaving for Freeport to confer with Dis
trict Attorney Smith that It would nuke
no difference in his Investigation If Mrs.
Carman were releaed from custody.
"As 1 have ssld, there Is no mystery
In this case. The evidence points to Mrs.
Carman. It's simply a matter of getting
more evidence. Cella Column has not
told the truth when she testified that she
did not see Mrs. Carman In the kitchen
at or near t'n time Mrs. Halley was
shut. I shall li" able tu prove this.
"Several persons In Freeport are going
to get In trouble, If they aren't careful.
They have been Interfering In this cast
and seklng to crento situations."

PlTTsncno. July 9. The sight of three
cat loads of strike breakers coming to
day to take the Jobs which have for

apparently too much for the thousands
of Westlnghnusc strikers.
To-night at 11 great mass meeting the
strikers decided to go hack to work Mon
day on practically whatever terms the
Westlnghouse management might sec lit
to ofTer them. These terms are expected
to be gencious, for It' Is well known that
the great works In East Pittsburg, Wll

to take on new workmen so long as
the men who have been with them for

to compromise their differences with the
